TiniAnt

What is it?

TiniAnt (pronounced "teeny ant" or "tiny ant") is an
extension to Ant that
simplifies building applications for the TINI, in a
cross-platform manner.

The current version is 1.2.0. You can
download it by clicking on the links at the left.

Description

It's simple:

Ant is a portable project management tool for Java
projects, replacing system-specific build scripts and
makefiles. You write a build description in XML, and
Ant does the rest, generally speeding things up since
it rarely needs to invoke additional instances of the
Java Virtual Machine.

TINI is a Java Virtual Machine with Ethernet,
serial, 1-wire, I2C, and CAN interfaces all on a
single SIMM board. You can web-enable virtually any
piece of hardware with it as well as provide computer
control. It's the world's smallest web server.
Building a Java application for the TINI involves
compiling on your host system, running some special
programs, and transferring the resulting file by
FTP. With TiniAnt, Unix users don't have to worry
about batch files and Windows users don't have to
worry about shell scripts to do that.

TiniAnt works with both regular and one-wire
applications on the TINI.
